The update

8k Hyperlapses can now be saved and stored in its RAW format. 8k Hyperlapses can be played on your device and is now supported to be played back on more media players. You are also able to drag a box around an object to track it while using the Free Hyperlapse mode.

The maximum flight speed in Spotlight mode has now increased to 19 meters per second when using it in Sport mode. You can now use Spotlight mode during night time flights. DJI has also managed to reduce the noise created when recording HDR video during low-light and night flights.
